Why couldn't you just not undo it, and have it read/write twice? This wouldn't be a problem if you're accessing normal ram, like the prologue and epilogue of a function. Add a comment to the manual saying to not use this

Really annoying bug where it acts as a remote control for my laptop, setting the volume on my iPhone to max. Then, the next time I use headphones on my iPhone, my eardrums get blasted out.

Also, check out Robin Renzetti, (here he is lapping a surface plate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nY7uW1uG9s ). Lacks the entertainment and dad jokes of ToT, but is an absolute genius. Absolutely amazing attention to det

Check out CDMA. There's a blog owned by one of the original engineers at Qualcomm that goes into the history and theory of CDMA. Unfortunately I can't find it.

That's a thousandth of an inch. Lots of things are machined to a thousandth of an inch tolerance, and some things are machined to a significantly finer tolerance. And if you're drilling bolt holes on a diameter that's greater

I don't think so. Landfills are a source of many important minerals and energy. I'm convinced that we'll be mining ours in the next couple of centuries.

What's the demographic? If you can only afford a $4320 car, you're buying a 20 year old junker. (They aren't that expensive to maintain, if you only fix the drivetrain and safety parts. Find a shade tree mechanic (like me) th

Also, when these fires burn mature forests, they don't actually burn the huge trees, just the smaller brush. However, they are so hot that they kill the huge, mature trees. So a couple of years later, you have a huge amount of dead tre

I'm running a T530 as my everyday rig, with Windows 10. I maxxed out the ram and got a ssd. It's fast, I can have numerous Chrome tabs, Sublime, and pdfs open, and quickly switch between them. Youtube videos play seamlessly. I can

Well, I'm sitting here with long term effects from covid itself (difficulty breathing from smoke from the forest fires.) If I was to live my life over again, I'd take the risk from the vaccine.

Restaurants have existed for millennia. It's just that you didn't get to choose what you ate. It was whatever the cook had lots of that day.

Women have better hand-eye coordination. And that also makes them better welders. At least, that's what the grizzled old guy that taught me how to weld said.

Oxygen is an extremely nasty, extremely corrosive, extremely toxic gas. It's just that life has evolved to use it, and engineering has evolved to deal with it. Think of how dangerous forest fire is. You have billion dollar companies wh

How about a plasma cutter? I know a plasma cutter will cut through normal silica. (I cut through some steel plate laying right on top of large gravel.) Silicon dioxides melting point is 1700 C, and aluminum oxide is 2100 C, a little higher.
